Thread Name: TECH: Email from MS?
Subject: RE: BS: Email from MS?
Hi, Jon

Best advice is don't open any of the attachments. Instead, run each of them through your virus checker and I'd be willing to be you come up with alarms blazing on one or all of them.

MS doesn't send out unsolicited e-mails and the clunky grammar is another clue that it's probably virus-laden junk.

As a matter of course, anytime I receive an email attachment promising "something you'll enjoy" from someone I don't know, I run it over once or twice with the ol' cyber-steamroller and send it sailing over the backyard fence.
